Step 10 Power Up

Replace the computer cover and reconnect the AC power cords. Turn power on to the host computer. Set up the power supplies so that the SCSI devices are powered up at the same time as or before the host computer. If the computer is powered up before a SCSI device, the device might not be recognized.

During boot, the MegaRAID Express 500 BIOS message appears:

Firmware Initializing... [ Scanning SCSI Device ...(etc.)... ]

The firmware takes several seconds to initialize. During this time the adapter will scan the SCSI channel. When ready, the following appears:
